+#### Disabling Changing Directory<sup>master</sup>
+
+`just` normally executes recipes with the current directory set to the
+directory that contains the `justfile`. This can be disabled using the
+`[no-cd]` attribute. This can be used to create recipes which use paths
+relative to the invocation directory, or which operate on the current
+directory.
+
+For exmaple, this `commit` recipe:
+
+```make
+[no-cd]
+commit file:
+  git add {{file}}
+  git commit
+```
+
+Can be used with paths that are relative to the current directory, because
+`[no-cd]` prevents `just` from changing the current directory when executing
+`commit`.
